-- Some people like horoscopes, astrological signs and whatnot. But few have ever thought to combine horoscopes with cars. Perhaps it's because the results are so out there, as this wild "cars of the zodiac" series demonstrates. Your author, a Scorpio, "would disguise his ideal car as a sort of swamp forest. The driver and friends would sit in a kind of summer house equipped with a periscope and set in the midst of aquatic vegetation." Groovy. But there's more: "In today's world', he will probably be found in a DUKW or an Amphicar." Speaking of aquatic vehicles...

-- This winter, don't let mud, or snow, or raging floodwaters or pretty much anything short of molten lava get you down: There's an Alvis Stalwart 6x6 featured on Bring a Trailer. It's got a Rolls-Royce straight-eight engine, a 25,000-pound winch, a 12,000-pound knuckle boom, six wheels and a hell of a lot of capability. The seller is asking just $8,500; on a dollar-per-pound-of-vehicle basis, this is an absolute bargain. And if that isn't enough, the seller, located in Puyallup, Wash., seems to have more than one of these things -- you could build a whole fleet!

-- The only thing worse than not having a Lancia Stratos is having a Lancia Stratos but being terrified to drive it because you can't pick up spare parts from your local AutoZone. One Hemmings classified has the solution: A trove of Stratos parts for just $6,500. The stash includes a lot of body panels, mirrors and lights -- exactly the kind of stuff that's liable to get busted up on a gravel road in the woods.

-- We love pretty much anything with a motor, whether it has four, three or two wheels, and the quirky, electric Lit Motors Kubo scooter is no exception. Sure, it looks weird, but form follows function here: Kubo was designed from the ground up to haul cargo (capacity is 300 pounds, including the drive) while being cheap to operate -- the perfect combination for small business owners. Or small business owners who live places where it isn't snowing for half the year. Places like San Francisco, where startup Lit Motors is based.
